Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 14 (ANI): The makers of Ramayana have released the first track from their upcoming magnum opus film on the occassion of Ganesh Chaturthi on Monday. The song is titled 'Jai Jai Ram'. 

Composed by Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman, penned by Dr Kumar Vishwas and sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, the song blends the spiritual essence of an aarti with the emotion of a cinematic song

Its lyrics reflect Shri Ram's compassion, protection and adherence to dharma, while the repeated invocation gives the song its devotional core.

The Oscar-winning musician shared that the intention behind the song was to 'preserve the purity and intimacy' of the prayer centred around Lord Ram. 

"At the heart of 'Jai Jai Ram' is the simple and powerful repetition of Shri Ram's name. Musically, the intention was to preserve the purity and intimacy of a prayer while allowing the composition to grow into a cinematic song. Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal bring their own distinct emotional expression to Dr Kumar Vishwas's words, while always remaining true to the devotion at the centre of the song. I hope audiences find both a sense of peace and a personal connection in it," said AR Rahman, as quoted in a press note. 

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman.

Produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios in association with eight-time Academy Award-winning DNEG and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, and distributed by Sony Pictures globally (excluding India), Ramayana Part One will arrive in cinemas this Diwali 2026. (ANI)
